Description:

KBibTeX is a BibTeX editor for KDE to edit bibliographies used with LaTeX. Features include comfortable input masks, starting web queries (e. g. Google Scholar or BibSonomy) and exporting to PDF, PostScript, RTF and XML/HTML. As KBibTeX is using KDE's KParts technology, KBibTeX can be embedded into Kile or Konqueror.

Does anyone know of a backport ppa for Kubuntu 14.04 LTS? The packaged version is quite outdated!

Just one problem: queries using the IEEEXplore engine do not return any result.

I am using the version in trunk at revision 964. The IEEEXplore engine used to work (from time to time I build kbibtex from trunk), but since some time ago it doesn't work. Unfortunately, I can't tell exactly when it stopped to work.

Could you please check? Thanks a lot!

the "patent" entry is not standard, but some bibtex styles recognize it, such as IEEEtran. It could nice to propose it in KBibTex, with the add of special fields such as nationality, dayfiled, monthfiled and yearfiled (cf www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/IEEEtran/bibtex/IEEEtran_bst_HOWTO.pdf).

This is a very nice piece of software. As a mathematician, I would find it very useful if queries to the mathscinet database (http://www.ams.org/mathscinet/index.html) were also implemented (in addition to ZentralBlatt).

Is there any chance for this project to team up with Kile, KDE's latex front-end?

I would definitely second this, i.e. when you edit a bibliography file it automatically uses kbibtex style editing/view

I have used KBibTeX v.0.1.1 and everything was fine, but after installing v.0.1.2 I cannot see more than half of entries. *.bib file was created by KBibTeX v.0.1.1. What's wrong?

Sorry! I understood, the problem was with quotation marks in titles. Now it works!

hello could you please implement this feature:

usually I tend to copy the bib reference by selecting it via mouse and paste it. Now If i coud paste the bib_ref_source directly into kbibtex->element->new->source 'field tab' and it automatically updates the rest of the feilds in the other tabs in the window so from the source it woul fill in the title, author and all the details.

another function: an import from endnote format to bib i am sure is possible, but i have not seen this feature. some of the sites provide only endnote/procite refs its a pain to get them converted to bib.

thanks for such a great program :)

Hello, usually I don't check this page every day, so if you have questions or comments, please send me an email.
If you have problems loading a bibtex file, please attach it to your email so that I can check it myself. Thanks!

Hello,

Kbibtex is what I am looking for, however if I import my *.bib file only 1/3 of the entries are listed -- in my case all entries with IDs up to "H*".

I added a link for each entry between bibtex entry and the corresponding pdf in the bibtex file. I would be very handy to have a "download pdf from local db" function in Kbibtex. Then I can search entries and open/mail the corresponding pdf.

thanks for this useful tool, cheers Oggi

> I would be very handy to have a "download pdf from local db" function in Kbibtex.
The feature you request might be already in the new version. For both the field "url" in "misc" and for valid urls in "user fields" you can click on "open" to open the file in konqueror.

If KBibTeX does not load your .bib file completely, there are two possible reasons: (1) the .bib file is buggy (2) KBibTeX is buggy.
Please send me your .bib file for debugging
